Oscar-winning screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher want Bruce Willis as the leading man for his directorial debut, a film that's been described as "Thelma & Louise" meets "Superbad" with a helping of "Pulp Fiction."

It's a great cast, and that "Thelma & Louise" + "Superbad" + "Pulp Fiction" could certainly be entertaining. But will Fletcher be able to avoid the sophomore jinx as a writer? Is he ready to direct? We'll see. Meanwhile, we're more interested in the film he's making with Doug Liman about the Attica riots.

Willis has been keeping busy, having already released "Cop Out" (ugh) and "The Expendables" (double ugh) this year, with "Red," an action-comedy about a team of ex-CIA assassins target by The Company for termination, generating a nice buzz ahead of its October release.
